Is This Bacon Art For Consumption Or To Look At?

Telaio Bicicletta Sculpture

The Bicycle Frame, with no shiny chrome coating, only bacon! Made of metal, wax, and paper mache. The Bicycle Frame sculpture is about 4 feet long and 30 inches high.

Perhaps Simone Racheli doesn’t even know that bacon scarves are a craze and that the bacon scarf designers wish that their creations looked as realistic as Racheli’s sculptures. What he has created, though, are sculptures of inanimate objects, that have animal (and human) insides, like fat, meat, guts, bones… And, like animals prepared for consumption, their skins have been removed.

On display at the Paola Maria Deanesi Gallery in Northern Italy, these full-size (dare I write life-size?) sculptures of every day items are an interesting portrayal of Racheli’s views on the human and animal condition, which I will not speculate upon. Racheli used several different materials to create each sculpture, but no animal or human byproducts.
